Welcome, Evelyn! Excited for NaNoWriMo? I should probably include a link somewhere ... Everything is still being set up, so things may be moved around still. XD

(I must say, nothing would make me trade away candy. I'm too much of a sugar addict for that. x3)

I fear I have gotten a lot less writing done for my friend than I wanted to this past shitty September. So I shall plan throughout October (when not watching Sanctuary because on an unrelated note: OMFG DO I LOVE THAT SHOW) and write like hell through November while cursing my decision to decide finals month was an awesome time to pile on the stress ;D

Sevi Rais Haha, yeah I'll be opening the subforum "Outlines in October" soon (probably now srsly). I have to get started on planning too! Man, September has been going by fast!! I have the base filled in already, and already written out all the background exposition stuff. Now I face the problem of taking my vague ideas into more defined details without being distracted by another project. I'm trying very hard not to give into this other idea, but I started doodling around with it today. I think I'm sunk, already. Two in one month D: Though the second would be probably half the 50k. I have my priorities straight.

Sevi Rais I guess you can make two. XD Buuut it's better if you focus on one. I've focused on one for a few years now, so I'm comfortable with the idea of doing maybe a smaller thing over on the side. It'll probably just end up being a bunch of small drablets playing around with the characters in the second verse. I always get ideas when I'm writing that just don't fit the cast I'm working with. This year I think I want to churn out the first Act of my outline. It sort of might work, as the exposition was about little over 25k. Lots of wiggle room; Act 1 isn't that large in regards to say, Act V or something. I'd really like to get deep into the story this try :3
